VIP GUESTS
What a great honor for Tafolla! On Friday, September 4, Superintendent Martinez interviewed our very own Tafolla Alma mater, Julian Castro. Some of the topics discussed included: DACA, COVID-19, school reopenings, voting, and issues geared towards people of color. The interview culminated with a tour of our school.
Library Phase 2
School Open, Library Closed (to an extent)
Students: book browsing is suspended, students may put books on hold and pick up by appointment or curbside pick-up. Students that enter the library must follow all social distancing guidelines: sanitize upon entering, wear a mask, and maintain proper social distancing of 6 feet apart.
Teachers: live or recorded video tutorials, concierge checkout, Zoom sessions, and much more. Stop by for a visit! Thank you for following proper social distancing guidelines.
Library Update
Our library is coming along nicely! My goal is to finish shelving the entire collection by the end of the week. The fiction section will be genrefied, making it easier for students to browse by topic and/or interest.
Curbside pick-up is coming very soon. Fridays will be set aside for library curbside service days.
